Following his studies, he entered the faculty of medicine in Paris, where he was admitted to the externship in 1873. Alongside his medical pursuits, he studied at the École des Beaux-Arts as a student of Alexandre Cabanel.

In 1890, he traveled to Senegal, where he joined the expedition of Colonel Alfred Dodds, serving as a substitute physician for the battalion. During this time, he captured the daily life of the fishermen of Guet n’Dar in the Saint-Louis district. His journeys eventually led him to Asia, where he died in Java.
